Baby king and milk snakes are very fragile could be extremely snappy and defensive. They could also defecate on you and release a particularly sharp odor of musk. This originates from the glands of the snake. However they may shortly get used to you if you re able to handle them for twenty minutes or so every day. This in turn will seriously slash the defensive actions against you. Actually some will become so cosy in your grasp that they may happily coil up in your hands and sit there. Most though won t be content to sit still and will move through your hands. Some king and milk snakes care enough about themselves to bite and these bites may in truth bleed because their teeth are needle sharp. However the bites won t be unpleasant to an adult. They don t seem to be a toxic snake though some can bear a resemblance to the infamous coral snake whose bite can be deadly.

Over the years milk has been packaged in a wide variety of different types of milk bottles. While nearly all of them are collected to some extent there is one specific sub-niche that attracts the most collector interest and that sub-niche is 1 quart Pyro-Glaze milk bottles with diary town and state names on them. Pyro-Glaze (also called "Pyro" or "Painted) refers to the method by which colored graphics were applied to the bottles. Pyro-Glaze bottles are found with various graphics & colors mostly in red green blue orange and black. They were made in several sizes and shapes but our focus here will be on a very narrow sub-niche of these bottles. These bottles were used by thousands of dairies across the country making it nearly impossible to catalog all the varieties that exist.

If you are going to buy and sell these bottles even semi-seriously the price of annual dues for the Association is well worth the money. Lactose It is the principal and typical carbohydrate of milk known as milk sugar. Glucose galactose and other sugars such as oligosaccharides are also present in traces. Lactose exists in true solution in milk. It is a disaccharide composed of two molecules of monosacharides; glucose and galactose. Lactose is readily fermented by the lactic acid fermenting bacteria producing lactic acid and has significance in milk and milk products. It exists in two isomeric forms designated as α and β forms of which the β form is more soluble than the alpha form in water. Lactose content of cow milk is 4.9 percent. The lactose content of milk is inversely proportional to the ash content of the milk.
